Carrots may be used anytime after they are half 
grown and are at their best when grown on loose deep 
soil that is not compacted. Young carrots are more 
tender and sweet for home use and several sowings 
should be made throughout the season from early 
spring until midsummer. Nantes and Tendersweet are 
best for home gardens. For fall use and storage sow in 
July or early August. Fine for quick freezing too. 
315 NANTES, Long Strain. Early and Delicious. 68 
days. Its smooth handsome appearance and rich de- 
licious flavor have made Nantes one of the most popu- 
lar carrots grown today. It is early, reaching a usable 
size before most other kinds, and whether large or 
small it is always tender, fine grained and sweet. 
Ideal for freezing. 
The roots of this long strain grow six or seven in- 
ches in length, cylindrical or slightly tapered and 
stump-rooted. The surface is smooth and they have a 
clear waxy look that is most attractive. The color is 
arich deep orange and they have such a fine flavor 
and texture that they are wonderful to eat raw as 
well as cooked.

and smoothness, and although small-crowned, the tops 
have been bred to resist breaking when pulled for 
bunching.
